Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Excellent, a Must See

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

In the future a city is operated by a graft filled corporation....who are the protagonists. Criminal Slash Gallagher (Evan Lurie) manages to escape from Hologram prison and lives as a hologram criminal. Decoda (Joe Lara) is the police detective after him.Maybe a decent film in 1995. Today, not so much. Plenty of action. Wasted a lot of cars. Use of CG blasts too. Just too trite. Available on a 3-pack with Incontrol. Guide: F-word. Brief early sex and nudity.

From the beginning this film is relentless swearing, dubious shootouts, massive explosions and over the top characterisation. I liked it.This was broadcast in UK on the Movies4men channel, there are absolutely no romantic elements to this story.In the future a criminals are kept in cold storage and their minds reprogrammed in holographic stasis (what?). One such criminal escapes in holographic form, it is up to the man who captured him etc etc.It is easy to see the influence of hit films of the era such as Demolition Man, T2, Robocop, The Lawnmower Man and Virtuosity.Presumably Bruce Campbell and Lance Henrickson were busy hence their absence from this movie.Quite why some of the other reviewers are so critical is beyond me. Did the title and synopsis indicate to them that this film would be shortlisted for the Oscars? Unlikely as it isn't about AIDS or the holocaust luvvies.Technically the film has been quite well shot and very well edited.The sound quality is passable but nothing special.Overall this was quite a fun film to with an interesting enough premise, and would be good to watch with friends with a few beers

"Hologram Man" is another entertaining movie from the PM Group. PM Entertainment put out the best DTV action movies out there. They are now defunct, but in the 90's they were the kings. "Hologram Man" is the straight to video version of "Virtuosity".The plot is: Slash Gallagher (Evan Lurie) is baddest criminal around. When he kills the Governor, he gets sent to holographic statis, which means his body is discarded for a holographic one. But during his parole hearing five years later, he escapes and only one cop can bring him down: Kurt Decoda (Joe Lara).This movie has non-stop explosions. Every car, person and building is blown up. They spared no expense on the pyrotechnics this time around. The body count is also very high, with hundreds getting killed. It makes for a fun evening. The acting is also first-rate. Evan Lurie and Joe Lara put in exciting performances. Michael Nouri, on the other hand, looks like he's reading cue cards. Overall, this is a very cool flick that's worth seeing.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com

Another excellent Joe Lara movie. All the cast were great but Joe is my favorite. I saw this one quite a few times too. You gotta see this Sci-fi. It's another action flick. It's real cool.
